Originally I had leftover soup and cobbler which, portioned, went into the freezer. I defrosted a portion of soup which had two blobs of cobbler – in the fridge, overnight. I lifted the cobbler blobs away from the soup and placed on a microwaveable plate or a lid from a box would do. The cobbler blobs hold their shape well and so it's easy to remove any soup in its cold state. I wanted to see how the cobbler element performed and so microwaved them on high for one minute – you may want another 20 seconds. I then re-heated the soup and hey presto lunch! The cobbler blobs were delicious and I have another boxed stashed in the freezer for that chilly Autumn day I know is on its way.
I promised an update too on the six frozen uncooked blobs of cobbler. Here's the light bulb bit – all that is required is an egg, beaten, ready to brush the blobs and then place in a pre-heated the oven 200fan/220/Gas 7 for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Here's what happened :
the tray lined with baking parchment, with
the cobbler blobs added and then egg washed, twice
straight from the oven and delicious
warm – a “cobbler” ploughman's
anyone?
I just love messing around in the kitchen, especially when it turns out well – in fairness there wasn't much to fail but nevertheless it's a different idea from the soup and a cobbler.
I'd definitely chalk this one up as a success.
